1 Prognosis of Filtering Operations after Phacoemulsification
نویسنده
چکیده
Intraocular surgical procedures in general and filtering surgery in particular, predispose to cataract formation or accelerate pre-existing lens opacification thus the management of a visually significant cataract in a glaucoma patient who has had a previous trabeculectomy is a common clinical challenge, with the possibility that the intraocular surgery might result in filtration failure and loss of intraocular pressure (IOP) control. Previous studies reported that 10% to 38% of eyes with previous trabeculectomy require additional medication or further glaucoma surgery to maintain IOP control after extra capsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with intraocular lens implantation.

EXTENDED REPORT Filtering bleb function after clear cornea phacoemulsification: a prospective study
Aim: To evaluate the influence of clear cornea phacoemulsification on filtering bleb morphology, function, and intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucomatous eyes with previously successful filtering surgery. Methods: The clinical course of 30 patients (30 eyes) who underwent clear cornea phacoemulsification after successful filtering glaucoma surgery was prospectively evaluated. Mean IOP and filte...
متن کاملDeterioration of filtering bleb morphology and function after phacoemulsification
BACKGROUND Trabeculectomy remains the most efficient method of lowering he IOP applied for the treatment of glaucoma refractory to pharmacological treatment. Cataract is concerned as the most frequent late complication of trabeculectomy. The aim of the study was to analyse the effect of phacoemulsification with posterior chamber lens implantation on the morphology and function of filtering bleb...

PURPOSE To evaluate postoperative outcomes and success after combined phacoemulsification and glaucoma surgery with Ex-PRESS miniature implant compared with combined surgery with standard trabeculectomy. METHODS In this prospective series of 40 consecutive eyes we compared 20 eyes in 17 patients treated with combined phacoemulsification and glaucoma filtering surgery with the Ex-PRESS miniatu...
متن کاملCircular Mean Filtering For Textures Noise Reduction
In this paper, a special preprocessing operations (filter) is proposed to decrease the effects of noise of textures. This filter using average of circular neighbor points (Cmean) to reduce noise effect. Comparing this filter with other average filters such as square mean filter and square median filter indicates that it provides more noise reduction and increases the classification accuracy...
متن کاملComparison of Blue Light-Filtering IOLs and UV Light-Filtering IOLs for Cataract Surgery: A Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND A number of published randomized controlled trials have been conducted to evaluate visual performance of blue light-filtering intraocular lenses (IOL) and UV light-filtering intraocular lenses (IOL) after cataract phacoemulsification surgery. However, results have not always been consistent. Therefore, we carried out a meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness of blue light-filterin...
